The little tot was very glad to greet the loved ones at home, but she wept bitterly when she found her mother and one of her sisters very sick abed. Little Minnie made phenomenal progress in her studies during the term just closed. and her ability in writing, reading, etc., as well as her ability to read con- versation from the lips of others, is truly remarkable for a child of seven years.

There were other ap- plicants, but Miss McKinley received nearly the unanimous vote of the board. She is a most excellent teacher, but most of our citizens doubt the pro- priety of hiring a female teacher for principal. The chances are that we will this year have a full corps of fe- male teachers in the borough schools, and most people think at least two able-bodied male teachers should be employed. That is our opinion, too, but we are willing to give the *‘gals” a chance before condemning the scheme. But there should by all means beseven teachers instead of six employed, this year, as some of the primary rooms are too badly crowded for the teachers to do justice to their pupils. All old-time cough syrups were de- signed to treat throat, lung and bron- chial affections without due regard for the stomach and bowels, hence most of them produce constipation. Bee's, the original Luxative Honey and Tar, gently moves the bowels and cures all coughs, eolds, croup, ete. Bee's Laxa- tive Honey and Tar is the original Laxative Cough Syrup. Look for the letter B in red on every package. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 The dog ordinance which is published in this issue of Tue Srar is welcomed by a great majority of the best people in this town. Of course, as was ex- pected, many of the dog owners are setting up a great howl about it, and some of them declare that the ordi- nance is illegal, that they will ignore it, that the additional tax can’t be col- lected, ete. Gentlemen, be not de- ceived. The ordinance is legal, as you will soon learn if you ignore it. You will either have to pay the additional tax and have your dogs registered and tagged, or else allow the canines to pay the penalty with their lives. The lat- ter policy would be the best, as there isn’t a dog in this whole town that is worth 25 cents to its owner. Don’t howl and growl about a poor man’s right to keep a dog. The trouble is the owners of dogs seldom keep them on their own premises, but allow them to trespass upon and annoy their neigh- bors and the public with impunity. Pay was Record-Breaker. The Berwind-White Company’s pay, last Saturday, was a record-breaker, considerably over $100,000 being paid the miners. The mines are running fall time, and the prospects are flatter- ing indeed for a good summer’s busi- ness., The tonnage, doubtless, will ex- ceed any previous corresponding month.—Windber Era.

A certain well known newspaper man of Lonaconing sent a suit of clothes to our local tailor to be cleaned. The tailor went through the pockets and found a dollar and fifteen cents. a door key and three beer checks. The tailor was overcome at sight of the treasure, and as soon as he recovered from the shock put the wealth into an envelope and returned it to the newspaper man. The latter burst into tears, and, taking the tailor in his arms, exclaimed, “Friend, you have saved me. That money was my reserve fund and my surplus; had I lost it there would have been no dividends this year.” And presenting the tailor with the three beer checks, he said, “Brother, virtue is its own reward; take these checks, but don’t spend them foolishly.”—Lo- naconing Star. DYING OF FAMINE is, in its torments, like dying of con- sumption. The progress of consump- tion, from the beginning to the very end, is a long torture, both to victim and friends. “When I had consump- tion in its first stage,” writes Wm. Myers, of Cearfoss, Md., “after trying different medicines and a good doctor, in vain, I at last took Dr. King’s New Discovery, which quickly and perfectly cured me.” Prompt relief and sure cure for coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, ete. Positively prevents pneumonia. Guaranteed at E. H. Miller’s drug store, price 50c. and $1.00 a bottle. Trial bottle free. 7-1 Two from the Berlin Record. A Meyersdale young lady was visit- ing some friends in the country, re- cently, and seeing a cow with a bell on her neck, asked: “Is that bell for the cow to ring so the little calfie will know when dinner is ready?” Surveyor A. E. Rayman, of Somerset, was a visitor in town on Tuesday, and called to pay his respects to this paper. In speaking of the Lincoln Oil and Gas Company’s operations, he says the com- pany is confident that it will yet find oil and gas, and that it is arranging to put down another well, not being dis- couraged over the fact that the second one bored proved to be a “duster.” He claims that the gas supply from the well put down about a year ago isin no wise diminishing, but growing stronger, and that there is enough gas going to waste to supply heat and light to a town lurger than Berlin. HUGE TASK. It was a huge task to undertake the cure of such a bad case of kidney dis- ease, as that of C. F. Collier, of Chero- kee, Ia., but Electric Bitters did it. He writes: *“My kidneys were so far gone, I could not sit on a chair without a cushion; and suffered from dreadful backache, headache, and depression. In Electric Bitters, however, I found a cure, and by them was restored to per- fect health. I recommend this great tonic medicine to all with weak kid- neys, liver or stomach. Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, druggist ; price 50c. 7-1 Salisbury Young Lady Graduates With High Honor from Chicago Musical College. Miss Della Brown, one of Salisbury’s best natural musicians, graduated this month, witn high hcnors, from the Chicago Musical College, where she had been a student for the past two years. The institution named is the largest musical college in the world, and has, as teachers, some of the world’s greatest artists. Miss Brown appeared in the recital work in Chicago and received great praise and applause. She belonged to the Musical Extension Club and ap- peared on the club’s programs a num- ber of times. She has been asked §to return next year and give a recital for the club.
